Previously on Avengers.
Tony, wait!
I joined the Avengers to help people...
including the villains.
You don't like all the fighting, I get it.
But maybe could you could work with the team in other ways.
I mean you're a genius Hank. We need you.
I'm done with the Avengers. This isn't me anymore.
No.
You're Ant Man! Walking away isn't gonna help anyone!
Can't you see how much this is hurting me?
Are you kidding me?!
Hank!
Wow! Did a gamma bomb go off in here?
Or does Pym just have the world's worst interns.
He's a genius, but Hank's a total slob when he's in...
[Hank talking to himself]
Work mode.
Hello?
Tony, you came!
Jan? Oh, I'm...
I'm not ready to...
This really doesn't concern you.
Nice to see you too, Hank.
And that's the awkwardness appetizer.
What's this little tech miracle you're so hot for me to see?
Little, yes. And huge!
It's my next iteration of the Big House.
You've got to see this.
That's interesting but kind of unnecessary now that HYDRA base is on line.
Besides, the Big House didn't turn out so well last time.
- Remember? - But this time, I'm the warden!
I will be in control of the prison!
I'll make sure nothing goes wrong.
Hank, I was glad to get your call but to be honest...
this is a disaster waiting to happen.
When's the last time you slept?
Or ate anything besides pizza?
And tell me that is not an unshielded quantum annihilator!
And much more. This micro-prison...
Hey Hank, why not work on this at Stark Tower?
No! This lab IS safe.
It's when I'm not there to keep an eye on things that they go wrong.
Easy, Hank! Set down the very dangerous...
science thingy and talk to us.
You know what? This was a bad idea.
- Why don't you leave? - Hank.
Now.
It's great to see Pym is doing so well without us.
Tony, I know Hank didn't leave the Avengers on the best of terms, but...
I think he may need help.
Hank?
Are you alright?
Oh no. Oh no!
Hank!
[narrator] And there came a day, unlike any other,
when Earth's mightiest heroes
found themselves united against a common threat.
On that day, they became the Avengers.
The invincible, armored Iron Man.
Thor, Prince of thunder.
The Hulk, strongest hero there is.
And Captain America, the first Avenger.
♪ Assembled, we are strong ♪
♪ Forever fight as one ♪
Avengers, assemble!

We didn't come here to remember an Avenger.
Or a scientist. Or a man.
We came to remember a dreamer...
who gave his life trying to make the world a safer place.
Taken from us too soon.
We will never forget our friend...
Dr. Henry Pym.
Death comes to all, eventually.
I know, but it's the first time that was one of us.
I didn't think it would happen like this.
It was a noble speech, Stark.
Worthy of the songs in Valhalla.
Pepper wrote it. I'm not really good with "sensitive."
Even though Hank and I didn't always agree...
I meant every word.
I wish he'd been able to finish what he started.
I wish I could have told him.
Hank knew how you felt about him.
He felt the same.
He just got lost.
Miss Van Dyne?
My condolences.
Fury?
Yeah. Keeping a low profile nowadays.
I was hoping to have a word in private with Stark.
Great timing as always, Fury.
What do you want?
Sorry to be blunt.
There's no easy way to say this.
The explosion in Pym's lab wasn't an accident.
It was murder.
SHIELD agents found it in the wreckage of the lab.
A detonator. Hank was killed.
Fury happen to see who did it with his good eye?
Otherwise, we're hunting blind.
JARVIS, scan the device and access Hank's remote backup drives.
Yes sir.
Most recent file activity was concentrated on the Serpent Society.
It had to be them! What are we waiting around for?
According to SHIELD...
the micro-prison prototype wasn't in the wreckage.
You think the Serpents stole it?
It's the first thing that makes sense about all this.
It's time to show these snakes why we're called the Avengers.
JARVIS?
Dr. Pym's records show the whereabouts of the Constrictor.
Somewhere in the vicinity of Yancy Street.
He's slippery.
We don't want them to bolt before they're cornered.
Panther, you up for a quiet hunt?
What about me?
Jan, maybe it's too soon.
You'll get your chance I promise, but...
This was the last of the safe-houses in Pym's files.
Anything?
Heat traces.
Less than five minutes old.
We're close.
I'll give you whatever you want!
Just let me go!
What I want is to see scum like you punished once and for all!
But... who are you?
The name's Yellowjacket.
We'll take over from here, friend.
Scanning.
Energy signature analyzed.
Identity unknown.
The mighty Avengers.
You going to scan him into submission?
We're certainly not disintegrating him.
Which is exactly why the world needs someone like me!
Willing to do whatever it takes!
Who are you?
Not so fast!
Stings, doesn't it?
Maybe it will help you remember to stay out of my way.
I've got work to do.
No!
You're gonna be sorry you did that!
Hope that wasn't too soon for you guys.
Jan, wait!
You think you can get away from me?
Do you realize what you've done?
Constrictor was our only lead to finding out who killed Hank!
So, Pym was the weak link in your little club.
You're better off without him.
You don't know anything about him!
I knew enough to get rid of the guy.
What?
Be careful, little wasp.
I have a nasty sting too.
You can't stop me.
Hank?
Who is Yellowjacket?
Is your helmet on too tight?
I just told you!
Yellowjacket is Hank Pym.
We heard you Jan, but it's a tough pill to swallow.
Not to mention impossible.
Or highly improbable.
Compare the scans.
Different size, body shape.
Even the technology in Yellowjacket's costume carries a different energy signature.
Jan, we're all upset about Hank...
but think about it.
Think about what he did to the Constrictor.
Hank was a pacifist.
This thug can't possibly be the man we knew.
I know what I heard.
What I felt.
You think I'm crazy too?
No one thinks you're crazy.
We'd all like to believe Hank isn't gone.
But look at the evidence, Jan.
I know, but...
If it was him?
If he somehow altered himself?
Don't we owe him a chance?
You westerners and your obsession with television.
Wouldn't you be better served tracking down Dr. Pym's assailant?
Hey, you do research your way, I do it mine.
Check it.
And who is the new mystery man Yellowjacket?
Friend or foe?
*** says he's no friend to the Serpent Society.
Get stung by the Yellowjacket...
you stay stung.
Sounds like a hero to me.
And what do the Avengers have to say?
No comment, and get that camera out of my face!
When it's good news Tony always gets interviewed looking like a movie star.
When it's bad news, they ambush me!
Never fails.
Pardon me Avengers, but Yellowjacket has been found.
By Thor.
We should hurry or we'll miss all the action.
Get out of my way!
I'm not going to beg for mercy!
You wouldn't get any!
When you struck down Pym...
you earned my ire, mortal!
Lay down your arms and surrender!
I don't think so!
Instead of attacking me you guys should be thanking me!
The math is simple, blondie.
Bad guys plus Yellowjacket equals no more bad guys.
Irritating insect!
Looks like Thor isn't having any better luck than we did.
He can dodge lightning?
Guy knows what he's doing.
Let's end this. And Jan...
If you tell me to sit this one out I'll zap you in your stupid metal face.
I was going to tell you to hit him with everything you've got.
No matter who you think he is.
Oh.
Nowhere to run, mortal!
Getting mad and throwing lightning bolts.
A real tough strategy to crack.
Next he'll probably brag about his hammer.
Taste the wrath of Mjölnir!
Wasp, wait!
And in the blink of an eye, I'm in control. And you're finished, Thor.
Impossible!
Very possible.
Hank!
Thor!
You should have just left me alone.
I had it under control!
No you didn't. You never did.
You're not Yellowjacket.
You're Hank Pym.
Hank, you need help.
Me? I just shut down an Asgardian!
You said I wasn't tough enough!
Looks like I'm tougher than all of you!
Don't even Clint, I mean it.
None of you can stop me.
You can't shoot all of us at once.
He doesn't know what he's doing.
Please, just stop it, Hank.
Hank Pym is dead.
Sorry you feel that way, Yellowjacket.
Look what you did! Idiots!
What we did? You killed Thor!
Nay, my friend! Though he did cause me some minor discomfort.
I didn't kill anyone.
My pistol places objects directly into my new micro-prison.
The one we are now trapped in because of you people.
You mean we're stuck inside your gun?
King Cobra, Bushmaster, Rattler.
Death Adder, Anaconda, Constrictor.
This is sadistic, Hank!
You used to dream of rehabilitating criminals.
I'm not Hank!
I'm everything Pym couldn't be.
I'm sorry. You were right, Jan.
But in about 3 seconds, I'm taking him out, whoever he thinks he is.
Hank, I know you're still in there.
You've got to stop this before...
Now what?
The Pym particles of your prison are unstable at this size.
The place is shrinking uncontrollably.
But we're not shrinking with it. It's going to crush us.
The pistol was the gateway.
- There's no way out. - So fix it!
This problem isn't going to be fixed by someone...
in a yellow clown suit who wants to solve everything by fighting!
I need someone who uses science, uses his brain.
We need you, Hank Pym!
Cobra, hold up!
If we don't act quickly, we'll all be crushed.
It's your choice, fight us and we're finished.
Or we work together to get out of this mess.
Serpent Society, attack!
Avengers, assemble!
We don't have time for this!
Where is Dr. Pym?
Pym can't come to the rescue right now.
And you're welcome, Stark.
Priorities, Bushmaster, come on!
Time to move from butt-kicking to problem solving, guys.
The prison is imploding into a singularity.
If we don't get out of here fast, it's over.
- You're the genius, genius. - Not for this kind of thing.
Snap out of it, Hank!
Wasp!
Come any closer and I pull the bug's wings off.
Or maybe I'll just do it anyway.
Jan!
Hank?
- Jan... - Hank!
Panther, your ID card.
It still has the scan of me from earlier?
I need it.
Tony, give me access to your chest reactor.
Not so fast.
I built the micro-prison around my bio-signature...
so only I could access it.
If we could relay my bio-signature from Panther's scan through your chest reactor...
it'll explode like a wave motion field and transpose us out of here.
Yeah, sure, why didn't I think of that?
Tony, that reactor is keeping your heart going.
If this goes wrong, you might die.
If he doesn't try, we all die.
This might hurt. A lot.
Thanks for telling me now.
Hold on.
Well, we cheated death, again.
Not us, him.
You did it!
Let's clean this mess up.
The cells at HYDRA base should keep the Society out of commission.
Not a bad likeness.
- We'll have to take it back down. - You should leave it.
Ant Man is gone. That's the past.
I think we spent too long wanting you to be someone you weren't.
Instead of appreciating who you were.
You want an Avenger who gets the job done right.
Here I am.
Hank Pym is welcome back to the team anytime.
That's who we want.
I told you.
The name's Yellowjacket.
- Tony... - Absolutely not.
- He's your friend. - Was.
Yellowjacket is crazy as a hornet's nest.
And a loose cannon to boot.
I've been an Avenger from day one.
I've always been the happy camper.
I've never asked you for anything, Tony Stark.
I'm asking now. Take Hank back.
We need him.
I need him.
Pardon me, sir.
But the New York Police Department is reporting...
a throng of mole people spilling from Madison Square Garden.
And I don't believe there was a game today.
Bet I'd bag more mole people than you do Stark.
Wait, what? Yellowjacket!
